GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER GLOBAL CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS

AKRON, OHIO

In collaboration with Gensler and Conservation Design Forum, Behnke designed Goodyear’s Global Headquarters’ site renovation and expansion. The site design balances the owner's desire for a high-end entry plaza and employee patio with a need for tight security and fire access. Two green roofs, rain gardens, pervious pavement, a roof drain level spreader, native plantings, and a 7-acre prairie grass meadow all contributed to the project’s LEED Gold certification.
